Eir GoMo - €9.99/month SIM only (unlimited calls, texts and 80GB data, 10Gb EU Roam

damien

Eir are bringing out a new offering called GoMo at 1130am today. It's a new mobile virtual network. All you can eat data (really 80GB) for €9.99 a month for the first 100k customers. Calls, texts and all that jazz. 10GB EU roaming data too. You can use it as a hot spot. 30 day rolling contract too. Still waiting to check the very fine print.

Standard industry practice

Standard? Normally if u cancel a service within within the 14 days you just pay for what service you used.

If I cancel this sim after purchasing and without using it I would have thought u get ur money back.

Not a big deal tho just confirming for the other poster.

It's taken VirginMedia about 5 years to get to 100k customers. And a lot of that was with offers of several months free or several months at €5 per month (completely unlimted), so better deals than Eir GoMo and no "setup charges" either. I doubt this crowd will have 100k customers within 4 months.

And if they can think they can increase their price to €15 / month once they got their first 100k customers, they can think again.

Prices in Ireland for mobile contracts are still absurdly high. €10 / month is more than enough to pay for a decent coverage phone contract.

Looking at the numbers I wouldn't be surprised. Eir had a slight majority of their 2.5 million or so customers on prepay with meteor before they made a dogs dinner of it.
It's easy to do the maths on this - meteor was almost solely a prepay network, targeted at younger users. Three took a lot of their base away with data upon entering. Since meteor closed, I reckon they lost about 80% of their prepay market with the rest moving to post pay or hanging on to eir pre pay plans.
Whatever way you look at it, there's about a million subscribers to be won back, either prepay or sim only, not to mention the people previously with other networks

with most services like mobile or broadband if you pay an installation fee, activation fee or something with a similar name you do not get that fee back if you canx within the cooling off period

Six people in my family have now gone for the GoMo deal.

1 from eir billpay.
1 from Virgin billpay.
3 from Three billpay.
1 from Three PAYG.

I suspect GoMo will get the 100,000 in no time.

Just port off to another network and that will be the end of it. I never found wifi calling much good anyway so not going to miss it

I presume they count Whatsapp as wi-fi calling right? Unless I'm mixing things up?

Whatsapp calling is extremely handy.

What are you basing any of that on? When meteor closed everyone was just switched to eir.

Whatsapp calling is not the same thing as Wi-Fi calling. Wi-Fi calling is using your normal phone voice calls over Wi-Fi instead of 3G/4G.

You get this back, they can't charge you for a service they haven't provided.

Yes they can. All operators' terms & conditions have a SIMO clause requiring thirty days notice of termination and they reserve the right to charge a termination fee of up to one month's service if you do not give that notice.

Regarding the questions about how long the offer would stand, ISTR a deal a few years ago where "for life" meant "for as long as you remain on this plan" but the operator had the right to discontinue the plan. From the GoMo terms and conditions, it appears that the same thing could happen in this case (I'm on mobile so can't share the link).

Eir has the same parent company as the French company Free, which has a €2 contract for unlimited talk and text, so it will be great if similar packages take off here. Still, ID Mobile attempted to provide something like GoMo and failed.

They also say that they own your number in the terms and conditions.
This is, and never was, charged by eir

Comreg reports and (too much) experience in the industry.

I was a "lifetime" iD customer at €15 per month for 10,000 minutes of calls to mobiles/landlines, 10,000 texts and 30Gb of data.

Can't help but think if iD had gone with something like the simple GoMo model they would still be here. One product, one price, payment against debit card etc.
Letting people design their own product and selling phones as part of the deal made their offering appear complicated.

It costs for the sim to be packaged and posted.
There will obviously be admin costs too.

I live in the city got a deal with Emobile when they started up and have been with them ever since. I have no problems with the eir network.

You don't need an account , go to "mygomo", then select "don't have an account", it will bring you to the page where you input email address but also on the right hand side of this there is the chat now icon

That's quick! I ordered yesterday and order is still In Progress.

igCorcaigh

I think someone said they charge the monthly fee on the 8th of every month?

My current prepay 4 week plan ends Nov 6th.

If I order my sum today, should I choose to port my number maybe one week from now? Should my SIM arrive on time?

It’s been said many times in this thread but I’ll repeat for confirmation.
I was onto Eir today to give my 30 day notice as I’m on a 30 day sim only plan. They told me I don’t have to give notice as the request from GoMo to take your number will act as cancellation and I’ll receive a bill for balance after that.

Eoin3

Possible to change the time we port our number? Not seeing a section for it on the website.....
Just in case the SIM doesn't arrive in time.

you can change it in account details
